I have been hearing rumors it will be in Toronto, Miami, and other places. For me i think it will be Toronto because I heard that at the rogers centre they were showing test promotions on there jumbo screen. As Royal Rumble comes in the coming weeks and the past 2 years of the Rumble revealing where the next mania will be. Where do u think Wrestlemania 2012 will be Held at.
Where should Wrestlemania 2012 be Held?

- Start date
I don't think it'll be Miami, because WWE is looking for domes. Miami has a big enough stadium, but I don't know if they can risk getting bad weather at an outdoor event. It almost rained that last time they had an outdoor Wrestlemania in Florida. Toronto would be a good venue. They have a stadium with a retractable roof, they've had 2 very successful Manias there in the past, the city loves wrestling. So, if these are the 2 choices, I'll say Toronto. I'm waiting for the Wrestlemania that is held in Cowboys Stadium in Dallas. That will be an amazing event.
Why not have WrestleMania at the greatest stadium ever to be built Cowboys Stadium in Dallas could you imagine watchin Mania on that giant TV and besides if they give us a great card they may be able to retake the attendance record they once held with Mania 3 but who knows maybe they will wait for WM 30 to have it there.

I can see it now! WrestleMania In Dallas Texas. Vince would break the all time attendance record, Because everything in Texas is Big! Plus Steve Austin would probably want to wrestle his last match ever in Dallas!

Isn't Vancouver bidding for Wrestlemania? I went there recently and they were remodeling the BC Place. Perhaps next year would be a perfect time?
I know this will never happen but I'm going to say Milwaukee. We have Miller Park which has a retractable roof plus Milwaukee is a hot bed for wrestling. Not to mention 3:16 was born here at KOTR and the nWo made their debut in the WWE here. Just a couple of things that happened here in Milwaukee.

Rupp Arena in Lexington, KY?
Lol. Like Olando76 said, a guy can dream, can't he?
Pretty sure it will be Dallas if it's anywhere in the US. Jerry Jones' mouth would water over the dough that he'd rake in, and it is the biggest venue in the country, at least as far as hype goes. It just fits.

How about the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan? I know that it'd never happen, but that'd be awesome. I can even imagine the Main Event; Undertaker vs The Great Muta. That would sell out in NO TIME.
I agree on the new Cowboys Stadium. The stadium just screams Wrestlemania all over it. It would be one of the biggest wrestling crowds in wrestling history. Also think about how awesome the Trons would be, Those TVS inside are fucking huge. It would be a very wise investment for Vince to take a Wrestlemania there in the near future.
Cowboys Stadium should be the odds on favorite. There would be over 100,000 fans at Wrestlemania which would be a new record. Dallas was one of the 3 or 4 biggest hotbeds of wrestling during the 80's and it would be a way to payback the Dallas fans as well. They can also have the HOF at the American Airlines Arena. If it's not there in 2012, you can bet it will be there very soon after.

I agree with you 100% Miller Park would be perfect for Wrestlemania! I was there when Austin 3:16 was born and when Austin pulled the gun on Vince in the wheel chair. I can still see my Poff 3:16 sign every time I see clips of it lol. Oh and don't forget it is where Chuck proposed to Billy or HHH was awarded the world title. ( Well one of those last 2, as one was in Green Bay but I can't remember which was which) But alas, Mania for Milwaukee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really think Miami should host Wrestlemania in 2012. I mean we were the second choice for Wrestlemania 27. We deserve the chance to have a Wrestlemania down here. As previous reports stated, Sun Life Stadium would host the event, the AmericanAirlines Arena would host the Hall of Fame ceremony and probably Monday Night Raw the following night, the Miami Beach Convention Center would host Axxess. All in all, Miami is a great choice and the tourism down here for that time period (Spring Breakish) would be perfect.

Two words: COW TOWN!
Thats right, Calgary Alberta Canada. The past two years the city has hosted Raw. The atmosphere from the fans was absolutely intense, it is my belief that the giant we want Bret chant we started at the 09 raw in Calgary was what convinced Vince to bring back bret.
Anyways It wouldnt be the biggest wrestlemania, nor would it fit too many fans inside. But the atmosphere in the place wouldnt be matched by a stadium 5x as big. Wrestling fans dont get much more passionate then the birth of place of many canadian greats.

I'm waiting big time for a Wrestlemania: Dallas. I live too close to Cowboys stadium to not be begging for Jerry Jones to talk to Vince McMahon about the idea. Both would love the thought of all the money! I can see it now myself. Plus, watching Mania outside ain't a bad deal, for those who can't get tickets.

They need to bring Wrestlemania to the UK, its about fucking time
The UK has always been a loyal fanbase for the WWE, and we have had 1 SummerSlam and a couple of minor PPVs (Insurexxion/Rebellion), and I think we deserve the big one.
What would be the problem? Most people in the US watch it on PPV anyway, so I am thinking the time difference which would affect most of the US must be the only thing stopping Vince from bringing WM across the pond. Am I right? Or is there another reason why WWE will not give us Wrestlemania? It would definitely sell out Wembley stadium no question about it!

Finnaly someone mentioned it. It is very unfair that WWE fans in Europe cant se live big events. Ok we can go to States but there arent many who can afford that. So next year in UK I would definetly go.
While I also believe Dallas would be a great spot for Wrestlemania, I have to agree with Mikewiz316. They were JUST there 2 yrs ago. I am from Michigan, and I realize it is a long shot, but if done correctly, could be the biggest WM of all time.
MICHIGAN STADIUM : THE BIG HOUSE
My first point is that Michigan Stadium is the 3rd largest stadium in the WORLD (See link for proof).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_stadiums_by_capacity
It says it holds 109,901, but exceeds capacity every single time. The capacity record is 113,411, AND that was held in the winter!
My next point would be that Ann Arbor is not far at all in comparison to Detroit's location. We all know there are a ton of Wrestling fans in Detroit and the surrounding areas. I have no doubt that the stadium could be sold out if adequately priced.
The 2 major flaws I see with this plan are as follows.
1) WM 23 was held in Michigan in 2007.
2) Michigan is not exactly a paradise in April.
Now obviously if Vince saw money when looking at this idea, much like Dallas, it wouldn't matter if they JUST had a WM there. And as far as the weather, WWE fans are CRAZY! You know it, I know it, WE know it. We would sit in the snow to watch our favorite superstars on the grandest stage of them all. So what if there is a little rain? The average temperature for April in Ann Arbor is between 40-60 F. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Arbor
Just think of the possibilities. The commentary would write itself. "We're here in Ann Arbor, Michigan at the BIG HOUSE. The THIRD largest stadium in the WORLD! We've set several attendance records already, not only in the sport of wrestling, but sports in general!"
You guys dont have to agree, but I'm telling you, if done correctly, this could be the biggest WM EVER.

Lol, considering that's only happened twice ever (Phoenix a couple years ago and Detroit a couple years before that), I'd hardly say they try to follow the Super Bowl, lol.
I hate to break it to you, but it will never happen, and you listed the reason why. The time difference. Think about it, your three choices would be:
A)Start WrestleMania at whatever time locally, and air it hours later on tape delay at the usual time (7pm ET, 4pm PT - it's starts an hour earlier than all other PPVs) in North America(not just the US, they have a lot of fans in Canada, too). Not going to happen, obviously, because there'd be people that wouldn't buy it if they can just read the results ahead of time online.
B)Start WrestleMania at midnight local time so it can start at the same time it always does...that means it ends at 4am local time. On a Sunday night. That's not going to happen, obviously, because who the F is going to be able to go to it, let alone be awake til the end?
C)Start WrestleMania at 7pm local time, air it live in North America at 2pm ET, 11am PT. Not going to happen, obviously, because you wouldn't get nearly the buys you usually do.
So there you go. It makes no sense whatsoever for them to have it in the UK, when you think about it. It's a lose-lose-lose situation for them. None of those scenarios are even plausible, let alone realistic. It sucks for the people in the UK, but when the overwhelmingly vast majority of your business is in North America, that's where you cater your decisions to.
As for where WrestleMania 28 will be, there seems to be a lot of candidates...the cities listed (Dallas, Miami, Toronto, etc) are good choices, but I'm going to list a city that hasn't been mentioned yet - New Orleans. I think it'd be great to give something to the city that's been though so much the last five years. They won't get it, they're hosting Hell in a Cell in October, but it'd be nice to see them get one someday. If I had to guess, I would say either Toronto or Vancouver - it's been a while since it was in Canada.

Never said better, although I am sure that it would sell out in a heartbeat. If WWE really wanted to make a lot of money than the only way would to be boosting up the prices by 5 or 10 bucks each price range. I was there for both of the raws in the last couple of years and my god was it ever amazing. The we want Bret chants probably did persuade Vince into getting him back, because if you watch that episode we were chanting it for the whole show and it was EVERYBODY in that damn audience, kids, women and men.

I know this probably won't happen but what about Cleveland Ohio? It has the Quicken Loans Arena. People from Ohio are crazy about Pro Wrestling, including me. It would make great money from ticket sales. And think about the publicity, with the whole Lebron thing it would get fans interested in Cleveland again.

I see next year's wrestlemania either being held in Miami or Toronto. Miami was the runner up for Wrestlemania 27 and it will be the 10th anniversary of Wresltemania X8 for Toronto, so one of those two are probably WWE's option.
St. Louis has the Edawrd Jones Dome and has a long history with pro wrestling so I can see them being a candidate, but they been having crime problems (from what I heard) and I think Vince wouldn't like his fans from across the world traveling there.
I definitely see Cowboy's stadium hosting a future Wrestlemania, most likely 29 or 30 but MSG is always guaranteed the event every 10 years, but things can change.
